It\u2019s a busy time of year for most people, and that can make it difficult to stick to your routines \u2013 whether that\u2019s your exercise regime or your Invisalign treatment plan. But staying on track couldn\u2019t be more important for reaching your goals! Keep reading for tips on how to enjoy the holidays without losing all the progress you have made with Invisalign in West Palm Beach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: 20-22 Are the Magic Numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be tempting to ditch your Invisalign aligners for that holiday party or big NYE date, but doing so could delay your treatment. Remember that you need to be wearing the trays for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, and brush your teeth. Fortunately, Invisalign is very subtle \u2013 chances are no one will even notice you\u2019re undergoing orthodontic treatment even when you are wearing the aligners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Don\u2019t Accidentally Ditch Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of removing the clear trays to eat and drink, don\u2019t wrap them up in a napkin and set them beside your plate. This is one of the most common ways that folks end up digging through the trash can later. It\u2019s too easy to toss those wrapped-up aligners without realizing what\u2019s inside the napkin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good thing is that it\u2019s easy to avoid this one \u2013 simply use the case that Invisalign comes with for storage! Pop the clear trays inside the sturdy case to keep them safe every time you eat, drink, or brush your teeth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Brush and Floss After Every Meal and Snack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Invisalign fits snugly against your teeth, it is easy for food and bacteria to get trapped on or between teeth and accelerate decay. To keep your pearly whites healthy while they shift into the proper alignment, make sure you brush and floss after every meal and snack. It\u2019s especially important during the holidays when so many sweet treats are within quick reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4: Don\u2019t Drink (or Eat) and Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may think a quick sip of eggnog or a small bite of your favorite holiday treat would be ok, but eating or drinking anything while wearing your Invisalign aligners can spell big trouble for your treatment plan. It may take a few extra seconds, but removing your trays will help prevent them from warping due to hot temperatures or losing their shape from biting down with too much force. This will ensure that they continue to put pressure in the right spots to gradually move your teeth into the proper position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep these four things in mind before your next holiday party or gathering, and you\u2019ll be heading into the New Year on track with your Invisalign treatment plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Mihran Asinmaz is the dentist West Palm Beach counts on for quality dental care.
